How did the bank respond? Did they change anything?


"Thank you for bringing this to our attention"

That was maybe a month ago, still the same.

I'm not the most impressed, I found a bug in their iOS app that would multiply monetary values by 100 when doing various (normal) text editing steps as you input values. I found this by nearly transferring £1000 instead of £10 to a friend. The bug was an honest mistake with `NSNumberFormatter` in the iOS SDK, but I feel like a bank can't make "honest mistakes" at that sort of level.
